Acting
Do we still sing the praises of folly like Erasmus, or is it trendy again to be smart? And if so, who is the smartest? Who can talk about the medals won at the Olympic Games in London, but at the same time knows who Captain Haddock is? Who knows whether Lacan was a hair growth product or a psychoanalyst and can also program their own digital television? Who has déjà vu when leafing through the Encyclopedia Britannica and when reading the interviews with the new Miss Waregem Koerse? Who, oh who, is the smartest person in Flanders, Belgium, Europe, and by extension, the world? That is determined by a fierce battle between three fellow human beings. Every day, someone is eliminated, someone who may not be the smartest, but who is perhaps cherished in their family circle because of their many other talents. The others advance and are joined by a new challenger every day.

Do you pee in the shower? Have you ever cheated on an exam? What is your favorite deep-fried snack? And do you prefer wine over beer? Not too serious topics, but we can still discuss them for hours. We will find out Flanders' answers to these and many more questions in the brand new humorous panel show EnquĂŞtebureau with host Steven Van Herreweghe. Two teams of three well-known Flemish people compete against each other with the aim of testing their knowledge about the behavior and habits of the Flemish. In the meantime, the BVs themselves expose their souls in witty and often surprising anecdotes and revelations. The result: a panel show that holds up a mirror to the viewer at home. Because what's more fun than having a good laugh at ourselves?
Three musicians form a band. But they're not just any musicians: each has a disability that makes them particularly unsuitable for their instrument. The guitarist is deaf, the singer is tone deaf, and the bassist has a stiff arm. They lack a drummer, and to respect the group's uniqueness, they turn to a famous writer who has never played the drums. He accepts, but begins a manipulation that will wreak further havoc on the already largely dysfunctional band.
The inhabitants of Bevergem can at least be called special. One day, stand-up comedian Freddy De Vadder also moves in. Why? Nobody knows. And he keeps quiet himself. The inhabitants of Bevergem are charmed by the presence of the eccentric rock 'n' roll figure, but it soon becomes clear that the villagers themselves are even more eccentric. Each of them confides in outsider Freddy and all kinds of petty bourgeois intrigues surface between noisy alpha males (and females) on the one hand and well-behaved, clumsy underdogs on the other. In the run-up to the annual village festivals, things get rather heated, but Freddy watches all the fuss and remains the unmoved mover at all times.
